8 0

The “Crittenden Compromise,” as it became known, included six proposed constitutional amendments and four proposed Congressional resolutions that Crittenden hoped would appease Southern states and help the nation avoid civil war. The compromise would have guaranteed the permanent existence of slavery in the slave states by reestablishing the free-slave demarcation line drawn by the 1820 Missouri Compromise. Though Crittenden’s plan drew support from Southern leaders, its rejection by many Northern Republicans, including President-elect Abraham Lincoln, led to its ultimate failure.

I believe the answer is: C) It helps citizens become aware of a politician’s wrongdoings.

Without the free press, politicians could make legislation which would not be beneficial for the citizens even without the awareness of the citizens.

But the freeedom of press need to be accompanied with accountability to ensure that the press do not intentionally created a biased point of view when presenting their piece.

It originated in Missouri in 1940 and has been adopted by several states of the United States. Similar methods are used in some other countries. The Missouri plan

Under the Plan, a non-partisan commission reviews candidates for a judicial vacancy. The commission then sends to the governor a list of candidates considered best qualified. The governor then has sixty days to select a candidate from the list. If the governor does not make a selection within sixty days, the commission makes the selection.
